It very much depends on wind and water conditions. I have had mine to a top speed of 11 knots now (12 miles per hour) but its not a speed I have been able to maintain, its only in strong gusts and surfing on a wave, 6 to 7 knots (8 mph) is a speed that can be maintained in good conditions. Over a whole return trip however, that can still equate to an average speed of 3 or 4 knots (3.4 mph) depending on sailing directions and wind conditions.

If you start trolling fishing lures etc you can expect that speed to drop down to 4 to 6 knots depending on lure size, depth and amount.

I find if you plan on doing expeditions and day trips, you need to keep a log of time, conditions both wind and water, tides etc, so you can better plan in the future.

Hi NOHUHUMy is an older 2007 model with the rudder kit upgrade but it still has the original screw to lock the rudder. I tend to still use it in heavy weather and find it a lot better and more reliable. I am relying on the old soft rudder pins as my safety net at present but only have a few left before I have to go to the harder ones.
